冰与火之歌

一 |     Tere Ishk Mein is turning out to be a major winner at the box office. The Anand L Rai film, led by Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, has matched the strong buzz it carried before release and is now steadily inching toward the Rs 100 crore net milestone in India.           Early estimates suggest the film earned around Rs 10.25 crore on its fifth day, with almost the entire chunk coming from the Hindi version. Tuesday’s numbers were a noticeable jump from Monday’s roughly Rs 8.25 crore, which had seen a sharp drop after the film hit its peak on Sunday with Rs 18.25 crore. With a solid opening weekend of about Rs 50 crore, the film has now reached an estimated Rs 71 crore net in India.     Its overall performance remains strong across the board. The movie’s all-India gross has touched about Rs 84.25 crore, while international markets have contributed another Rs 7.25 crore. This pushes the film’s global total to around Rs 91.5 crore in just five days, placing it in a comfortable position to recover its reported Rs 95 crore budget soon.          Day 5 also marks a milestone for Dhanush, as the film’s domestic gross has already overtaken the lifetime numbers of his 2013 hit Raanjhanaa. With Hindi net collections alone crossing the earlier film’s tally, Tere Ishk Mein has become his highest-grossing Hindi release within days. The film will now enter a competitive phase with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar arriving this Friday, followed by the Hollywood release Avatar: Fire and Ash the week after.ALso Read: Paramvir Singh Cheema on Working With Kriti Sanon and Dhanush in Tere Ishk Mein。    (ECNS) -- One unexpected Chinese streetfood snack is gathering a huge global following right now.    Known as latiao, these chewy wheatbased strips carry a unique mix of spicy and sweet flavors.
